Diana & Thomas

Diana and Thomas’s elegant, old-world wedding is the stuff little girl’s dreams are made of. For her wedding, the bride selected: roses, a soft color palate of peach, cream, champagne, and gold, a long mermaid-style lace dress fit for a princess, and of course, a prince charming. The couple who were introduced by a mutual friend two years ago, were married on a colorful fall afternoon, on November 9th, 2013. Diana had always loved the classy atmosphere of the O.Henry Hotel and knew that she and Thomas would have several guests attending the wedding from out of town. Comfort and convenience were important for them and they thought the O.Henry felt more like a grand home than a hotel, so the couple chose to have their wedding reception there. We’re delighted to share their beautiful union, and we’re flattered they also decided to host their rehearsal dinner at the Proximity Hotel, in the intimate Latham Room.

Following a wedding ceremony in the Phillips Chapel of the Canterbury School in Greensboro, the newlyweds celebrated their nuptials with a cocktail hour and seated dinner reception in the hotel’s Caldwell Room. Outfitted with champagne and honey linens and gold chivari chairs, the candlelit ballroom was the perfect setting for their romantic evening.

The couple had their first dance to the vintage song “Paper Moon,” the same tune Thomas serenaded Diana with outside his home the evening he proposed to her.

The Caldwell Room featured gold chivari chairs and accent tables dressed with gold-champagne floral linens. Each table was adorned with arrangements of soft peach and cream colored roses, dahlias and hypericum berries.The dinner tables were draped in honey-gold linens, and the warm glow from the candles added to the romantic tone of the evening.Stemless wine glasses screen-printed with their initial and their wedding date served as favors for the guests. A master guest-list was displayed in the foyer for attendees to find their seats.The newlyweds make their grand entrance and guests sign the engagement photo-studded guestbook.The bride and groom have their first dance to “Paper Moon.”Slicing into the beautiful four-tiered wedding cake, from Cakes by Manfred.The bride and groom share a kiss, a champagne toast, and some wedding cake.Friends celebrate and get into the spirit with dancing and a fun photo booth.
